We need more MPs like Richard Burgon, & fewer like my MP, Gen Kitchen - but Keir Starmer has created a "Labour" Party in his own image, one with all the radicalism & concern for the #poor, #sick & #disabled taken out of it, @ChrisMayLA6, @HarriettMB.

@rmblaber1956 @ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB Huh, I raise you one P Patel😱

@transponderings @MostlyHarmless Bravo! 😂

@feorag @cstross Congratulations!

@GottaLaff rats & sinking ship??

@GossiTheDog I'm sure they have looked into extending mortgage term/going interest only/ talked to mortgage provider. No need to reply.

@mikarv Yay! Congratulations!

@GossiTheDog So sorry to hear. Donated.

@Zamfr @cstross Don't like the look of their lifting gear either.

@neil For a small niche specialist firm Google advertising may bring too many enquiries unrelated to the business which then have to be responded to in one way or another.

@Edent Do tell!

@molenaar @pluralistic Yes you had to get the bank to hand out the money & record the amount in the back of the passport with an official stamp. (UK 1970s)

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

@junesim63 No no and no
It hasn't "alleviated" anything.

@mattsheffield Maybe RFK Jr is himself suffering from lead poisoning? Cognitive & concentration issues?

@mikey @hacks4pancakes Current regime doesn't care as can take 20-40 years to become sick.
